In this special What It Takes inspired event, interns Alice Fabela, Ava Romano, and Madison Hayes will lead you through an activity in which you’ll turn memories and goals into creative maps. As you craft your memory map, they will take you through some of the amazing CFA faculty research featured in MoFA’s current exhibition, What It Takes: Creative Research in the College of Fine Arts. You’ll need coloring utensils or collage materials, and paper. This event is free, virtual, and open to the public. Registration is required.
